Vancouver is proud to be one of the greenest cities in the world. It boasts over 200 public parks, 75 community gardens, and 90% of the city’s energy is derived from renewable sources. In 1992 the Ministry of Environment and Metro Vancouver Air Quality initiated the Motor Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Program, or as it’s more commonly known, AirCare. Since its inception AirCare has tested and certified hundreds of thousands of vehicles, and as a result have lowered vehicle emissions in the lower mainland by 33%. AirCare has generously supported us in the past, and is continuing this tradition into 2013.
